Background

Hardy recorded Quit!! with long-time collaborator and producer Joey Moi and sees the singer-songwriter further exploring his rock-influenced sound. [3] Alongside the announcement on May 17, 2024, the artist unveiled a cinematic set of visuals that feature him being admitted to a mental institution. [4] The "aggressive" lead single of the same name was released on January 12. [5] The story of the title goes back "almost a decade ago" to when Hardy found a napkin with the word "quit" on it in his tip jar after a singer-songwriter show in Nashville, Tennessee. [6] The singer uses the "discouragement as fuel", documenting his journey from a struggling Nashville newcomer to becoming a commercially successful artist himself. [7]
